@bunnylove08: I like old navy summer stuff for little girls, but I use that to supplement hand me downs and thrift store stuff. That might be the way to go if she needs so many things.

Also, I try not to buy from carters until it is 50% off which happens fairly regularly, just not sure if you can wait?

All of DD's clothes for this summer are from Kohls (Jumping Beans brand) or Old Navy. If you have a Kohls card you can routinely find a 30% off coupon (usually about once per month). They also carry Carters and are typically the same price (plus 30% off!).

ETA: the current code for Kohl's is SPRING30 and MVCAPRIL for free shipping, you can stack their codes.

I like old navy, although I've had bad luck with their stuff shrinking or developing holes randomly. If you have a fast grower I'd probably just stock up on cheap stuff, but I try to buy gap stuff when it goes 40% off, because mine grows pretty slowly. I find gap to be just way better constructed.

If you can wait, Gap frequently has 40% off sale items type sales... I've seen it the last two weekends in a row! Then on Monday, it drops back down to 30% sale. Maybe another one will crop up this weekend! When you can get a percentage off already on sale items at Gap, you can usually get things for a really great price! Old Navy is good too - I always wait for at least a 30% off sale items type sale at Old Navy.

What about second hand?

Aww man, you just missed Baby Gap had an amazing sale running for a couple of weeks, everything on clearance was extra 50% off. I stocked up for baby #2 and things were much cheaper than Old Navy or Cater's. They still have addt'l 30 or 40% off clearance in stores depending on the store.

I usually like Target and Old Navy for some great affordable pieces! Check Cartwheel for stacking deals too!

@bunnylove08: Their 40% off sale just came back online. I just checked this morning and it wasn't there. I swear Gap fluctuates on a day to day basis!

Honestly, for play clothes I bought LO some stuff at Walmart (they had cotton dresses for $5 and she's obsessed with dresses), otherwise I do Carters and Old Navy. And I just got some stuff hand-me-down from friends.

I used to be against second hand stores but now I realize how crazy I was being, between my friend and our local store, some of the stuff I have gotten is in almost new condition for a fraction of the cost. Perfect for daycare, and then I can spend a little more on special outfits.

@bunnylove08: I buy a lot of E's clothes (especially for daycare) from swap.com.
